“In retaliation for the divorce and custody proceedings, Pitt embarked on a multi-faceted, years-long campaign to seize control of Chateau Miraval,” the complaint alleged, “and appropriate the company’s assets for his benefit and that of his own companies and friends.”
At the time, a source close to Pitt told E! News that the countersuit was “yet another rehash and repackaging of old material to try and distract from the other party’s own behavior.”
In the latest court filing from Pitt’s side, his attorneys argued that there “is no valid reason to relitigate family law issues in this forum” by granting Jolie’s request to see Pitt’s communication about the plane incident.
“The truth is that it is a business dispute about a family estate and winery,” they wrote. “For the reasons stated herein, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court deny the Motion.”
